No. 125,942 filed July 24, 1961 now abandoned which, in turn, is a division of our application Ser. No. 781,871, filed Dec. 22, 1958, now 11.5. Pat. No. 3,055,895, issued Sept. 25, 1962.

This invention relates to new dyes of the formula COX wherein, in the benzoylene moiety, the remaining carbons are bonded to substituents selected from hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, chlorine, and bromine; Y is selected from chlorine, bromine, and -NHR; Z is selected from chlorine, bromine, and NHR; X is selected from chlorine, bromine, dialkylamino, diethanolamino, N-piperdyl, N-morpholinyl, and -NHR"; wherein R, R, and R" are each the remainder of an organic dye containing amino groups, suchas an amino-azo dye, an amino-vat dye, or an amino-phthalocyanine dye, the --NH- moiety attached thereto being the residue of an amino group of such dye; with at least one of X, Y, and Z being -NH-azo.

A most important feature of the present invention is the linkage of the dye-residues of amino dyes to a novel carboxyphenyltriazine nucleus to produce a novel class of dyes. These novel dyes may be further characterized as ones wherein a 'benzoylene moiety is linked to a triazine nucleus with at least one dye residue linked to the carbonyl group of the benzoylene moiety or to a triazine carbon.

Dyes containing the triazine nucleus have been known in the past in several fields of dyestuff chemistry. They have, in the past, had in common the characteristic of a direct linkage through an amino group between the dye- Silll'f residue and the triazine ring. They have usually been formed by the reaction of cyanuric chloride with a dyestuff "containing an amino group which has a replaceable hydrogen. Such a reaction is sometimes difficult'to carry out and does not always go in a clean-cut manner. This is especially true when the triazine dyestuff is constructed with more than one dye residue on the triazine, especially when several dyestuffs are used.

We have found that compounds of the formula Ar-C OX IT N in which Ar is a residue of the benzene series carrying as additional substituents alkyl, alkoxy or halogen groups, and in which X, Y and Z are hydroxy or halogen, such as chlorine and bromine, are intermediates for the formation of new dyestuffs which are exceptional in the ease with which they form such dyestuffs and in the variety of dyestuffs and shades which they may be obtained therefrom. We have further found that the dyestuffs of the similar formula in which at least one of X, Y and Z is the residue of dyestuif linked to the molecule through a replacement of a hydrogen on an amino group are valuable dyestuffs of the vat, azo, direct dye and similar fields. Such dyes could have X, Y and Z represent entirely dilferent dyestuff residues and thus produce composite colors or they can all be the same. Also the intermediate compounds, in which only one or two of X, Y and Z are replaced with a dyestuff residue, are similarly valuable dyestuffs in their own right.

It is an advantage of our invention that these intermediates react more readily with the amino dyestuffs to link a triazine moiety and a dyestuff nucleus into a common molecule. This is of course most especially true of the replacement of X inthe above formula since a carbonyl halide reacts more readily than does a triazine halogen. This difference in reactivity further permits the preparation, in a much more clean-cut fashion and with greater ease, of the types of dyestuffs in which there are several different dyestuffs linked to the same triazine rnolecnle and this is a still further advantage of our invention.

It is a further advantage of our invention that thedyestuffs in which X is a color moiety and Y and Z are halogen are stable enough to permit the use of such dyes in high temperature dyeing procedures, a use not normally possible with dichlorotriazinyl dyes. Another advantage of our invention is that other dyes can be prepared (e.g. those in which X is halogen and either or both of Y and Z are dyestuff residues) which have more reactive halogens than normally can be obtained with chlorotriazinylamino dyestuffs. Our invention thus presents an extraordinary flexibility in the dyestutf properties obtainable.

(I) INTERMEDIATES The new intermediates of our invention are prepared from toluguanamides by oxidation with a permanganate to the corresponding carboxybenzoguanamides. These are then subsequently chlorinated to the acid chloride of the carboxyphenyldichlorotriazine. The known starting materials are easily obtained by beginning with an ortho-, meta-, or a para-, toluic acid chloride and reacting it with dicyandiamide. The resulting toluyldicyandiamide is then hydrolyzed to the biuret with acid, and ring-closed to the toluguanamide by sodium hydroxide in known manner. The preparation of these intermediates is illustrated in more detail by the following serie of reactions.

Dlcy H01 NaOH OH; CH OH;

0 C1 (i3 0 & O Toluyl N H HzN NH chloride (5 =NH 0 O NH J H Toluyl dicy Toluylbiuret f N 1' N 40 HO-(E -OH HO-JE l-OH Toluguaualnide Carboxybeuzoguauamido The starting toluic acid chloride may have other substituents present, such as alkyl, alkoxy or halogen. Examples of the toluic acids which may be used are ortho-, meta-, and para-toluic acid, 2-methoxy-5-methylbenzoic acid, 2-chloro-5-methylbenzoic acid, 2-methoxy-4-methylbenzoic acid, 2-chloro-4-methylbenzoic acid, and the like.

In the above equation there is shown the conversion of the benzoguanamide to the corresponding dichlorotriazine derivative. However it is clearly equivalent to use the corresponding phosphorous pentabromide or thionyl bromide in order to form the corresponding bromo compounds and these bromo compounds are included within the scope of our invention.

The groups X, Y and Z in the intermediates of our invention need not all be the same although the species in which they are all alike are the more readily obtainable. However, for example, species in which only X has become chloro or bromo while Y and Z remain hydroxyl 75 can be obtained readily by careful treatment with thionyl chloride under conditions (lower temperature and restricted mole usage of SOCl which do not go on to replace the triazine hydroxyls. Similarly the compound in which X, Y and Z are all chloro or bromo can be hydrolyzed step wise to make X alone or X and Y hydroxyl, leaving the others chloro or bromo. This interconversion is illustrated in the following schematic equations:

The various intermediate steps shown can, of course, also be used as dye intermediates by the reaction with a dye amine followed by further reaction to form the halogen derivatives. Thus these intermediates of our invention are quite versatile in the preparation of various dyestuffs of the carboxyphenyltriazine type shown in later paragraphs in this specification. Although the above equation shows the m-carboxyphenyl derivative, the reactions occur also with the para and ortho-isomers, as well as with compounds having other substituents on the molecule.

11 DYESTUFFS The dyestufis which can be prepared from the compounds of our invention and which form another aspect of our invention are based on the linking of the carboxyphenyltriazine nucleus to residues of dyestuff amines. The linking is achieved through the amino group in a known dyestuif moiety. This linking can be carried out in a stepwise manner. Thus any of the chlorinated carboxyaryltriazines shown in the above equation can be reacted with an amino dyestuff in which the amino group has a replaceable hydrogen and the said hydrogen is replaced by the carboxyphenyltriazine nucleus to form the bond to the dye residue. The carbonyl chloride radical will react first and thus, in those compounds of our invention in which the carboxyl group has been transformed into the carbonyl chloride, a clean reaction can be obtained to form the dyes in which X is an amino dye residue and Y and Z in the above formulas remain either chlorine, bromine, or hydroxy. Under somewhat differing conditions additional halogens on the triazine can be further replaced, still stepwise to get a complete replacement as well as partial replacement of the halogens. This will be discussed in detail later in the specification, after a discussion of the various amino dyestuffs which can be used.

At least one of the groups X, Y and Z in the generic formula must be, in the dyestuffs of our invention, a residue of an amino dyestuff linked to the phenyltriazine moiety through the amino group. The amino group on the dye residue may be either a primary or secondary amino group in the original dye molecule. It cannot be a tertiary amino group since there would be no replaceable hydrogen by whose elimination there could be forrned a further covalent bond with the phenyltriazine moiety. The dye residues which may thus be linked to the phenyltriazine nucleus in the dyestuffs of our invention will be described below in much detail. In that discussion, extensive reference will be made to The Chemistry of Synthetic Dyes by K. Venkataraman, Academic Press, New York (1952) and to the American Chemical Society, Monograph No. 127, on the Chemistry of Synthetic Dyes and Pigments by H. H. Lubs, Reinhold, New York (1955 While many of the dyestuif residues which may be used in the dyes of our invention will be described in detail in the specification, in order to provide a complete disclosure these treatises are included expressly by reference in this specification as indicated in the various discussions.

The principal limitations on the dyestutf residues which may be used in forming the dyes of our invention is that these dyestutf residues must contain an amino group capable of forming a further covalent linkage, i.e., and amino group having a replaceable hydrogen. Such a definition includes primary and secondary amino groups and excludes tertiary amino groups. In general, a secondary amine is preferably an alkyl aryl amino compound, since the diaryl amines do not react as well. As described below, all the various classes of dyestuffs can be used, but those members which are useable have this factor in common: -no matter what the general class of dyestuif involved, the dyestuff residue must have a primary or secondary amino group which can react withthe halogens in the carboxyphenyltriazine nucleus to form the dyestuffs of our invention. In general dyestufls of similar structure are preferred.

When water-soluble dyestuffs are desired, the dyestuff residue should contain an acidic group in order to achieve the proper water solubility. Of the acidic groups, the sulfonate group is of course by far the preferred one with the carboxylate and sulfonamide groups the ones most likely to be used next.

(A) The dyestuif residues-azo dyes Azo dyes are described in Venkataraman in chapters 11-22, inclusive, pages 409-704, and in Lubs, chapter 3, pages 96-181. A great many azo dyestuffs are known to the art which have primary or secondary amino groups in their structure. Such compounds, as described in the above-mentioned pages of Venkataraman and Lubs, are expressly included by reference as useable in the formation of the dyestuffs of our invention.

The azo dyes represent probably the largest class of dyestuffs and the class giving the greatest flexibility in structure and color. There can be used in the dyestuffs of our invention all the variations of azo dyes known, such as the monoazo dyes, the disazo, the trisazo, the tetrakisazo, the mordant dyes, the stilbene dyes, the pyrazolone and thiazole dyes, and the like, so long as the restrictions are met of a primary or a secondary amino group through which they can be attached to the triazine ring.

To illustrate the type of dye used in our invention a simple example is as follows, wherein an azo dye derived from 2-amino-5-chloro-4-toluenesulfonic acid coupled to H-acid (8-amino-1-naphtlfol-3,6-disulfonic acid) is linked through the amino group to the carbonyl group of m-carboxyphenyldichlorotriazine.

SOaNa 0H IiIH-CO Cl- NaOaS SOBNB N N 01 i J 01 Such a dyestuff is prepared by reacting one mole of the aminoazo dye with the dichlorotriazinylbenzoyl chloride. If three moles of the aminoazo dye are used, all three chlorines are replaced.

The azo dye itself may be used for the reaction with the carboxyphenyltriazine derivative. However, in the case of azo dyes especially, there are alternative methods whereby the chlorocarbonylphenyldichlorotriazine may be first reacted with an amino aromatic compound, to be used as a coupling component or as a diazo component in forming the azo molecule. In the reaction, for example, of one mole of an aminonaphthol with dichlorotriazinylbenzoyl chloride followed by coupling of a diazo component into the naphthol, there is obtained the same dyestutf which would be obtained by first coupling into the free aminonaphthol and then condensing the azo dyestutf with the triazine compound. Similarly, the halogenated triazine compound may be reacted with one amino group in an aromatic diamine and the other amino group can be diazotized and coupled to form the azo derivative. These synthetic methods can be illustrated by the following equations. In the first, chlorotoluidinesulfonic acid is diazotized and coupled with H-acid to form the azo dye and.

this is then condensed with M-(dichlorotriazinyl)benzoyl chloride to give the dichlorotriazinylbenzoylamido azo dye.

The preparation of the azo dyes may be carried out under conventional conditions, whether the azo dye is prepared first and then reacted with the halogenated carboxyphenyltriazine to form the dyes of our invention, or whether the triazine compound is reacted with either the diazo component or the coupling component and the azo 'dye is then subsequently synthesized. The reaction of the azo dye or its fragments with the various halogenated carboxyphenyltriazines may be carried out under various conditions. For example, either aqueous or non-aqueous conditions can be used. The reaction under aqueous conditions is carried out in the presence of an acid-binding agent, such as sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate to take up the hydrogen chloride evolved. In a nonaqueous system, if the azo dye contains sulfonic groups, an amine salt of the azo dye, which will confer solubility in an organic solvent, is conveniently used. Such an amine salt as the di-o-tolylguanidine salt is quite conveniently used in the reaction with the carboxyphenyltriazine derivatives. Where there is no water solubilizing group in the azo dye, a non-aqueous system is preferred.

The azo dye residues of the new triazine dyes which form our invention are derived from various diazo components and coupling components. Examples of the amines which may be used for the diazo components are:

aniline o-nitroaniline m-nitroaniline p-nitroaniline o, m, and p-chloroaniline 2-nitro-4-chloroaniline Z-amino-S-nitrotoluene 4-amino-3-nitrotoluene 2-amino-4-nitrotoluene 2-amino-5-chlorotoluene 2-amino-4-chlorotoluene 2-amino-6-chlorotoluene 2,5-dichloroaniline 3,4-dichloroaniline 3-amino-4chlorotoluene o-anisidine 3-nitro-4-methoxyaniline 4-nitro-2-methoxyaniline 2-nitro-4-ethoxyaniline dianisidine 4-amino-2,S-diethoxybenzanilide 4-amino-2,S-dimethoxybenzophenone benzidine (including the monoacetyl derivative) tolidine 4-chloro-2-methoxyaniline 2,4-dimethoxy-5-chloroaniline 4-amino-2-methoxy-5-chlorobenzanilide l-naphthylamine l-aminoanthraquinone 1-amino-3-chloroanthraquinone 3-amino-4-methoxybenzenesulfonedimethamide 4-methoxy-3-aminophenyl ethyl sulfone 5-benzamido-2,4-Xylidine 4-methoxy-4'-aminodiphenylamine 4-aminodiphenylamine 4-chloro-2-aminodiphenyl ether 4,4'-dichloro-2-aminodiphenyl ether o-aminodiphenylamine 5-me'thyl-4-methoxy-2-amino-2'-chloro-4'-nitro-azobenzene 4-aminodiphenylamino-4-azotoluene 2-amino-4-sulfodiphenyl ether 2-amino-2'-methyl-4-sulfodiphenyl ether 4-aminoazobenzene 4-aminoazobenzene-4'-sulfonic acid 4-aminoazobenzene-3,4'-disulfonic acid orthanilic acid 10 S-methyl-orthanilic acid Z-amino-S-chloro-4-toluenesulfonic acid 4-chloroaniline-2-sulfonic acid aniline-2,5-disulfonic acid 4-chloro-S-methyl-Z-anilinesulfonic acid 2-amino-4-methoxybenzenesulfonic acid 2,4-dimethylaniline-6-sulfonic acid 2-amino-4-trifluoromethylbenzenesulfonic acid 3,4-dichloroaniline-6-sulfonic acid 3,5-dichloroaniline-6-sulfonic acid 3-methoxyaniline-6-sulfonic acid 4-methylaniline--sulfonic acid dehydrothiotoluidinesulfonic acid 2-aminonaphthalene-4,8-disulfonic acid 2-aminonaphthalene-6-sulfonic acid 2-aminonaphthalene-6,8-disulfonic acid 1-aminonaphthalene-4,5,6 and 8-sulfonic acid 2-aminonaphthalene-5,7-disulfonic acid Z-aminonaphthalene-7-sulfonic acid p-phenylenediamine 3,3'-dichlorobenzidine 3,3'-benzidinedisulfonic acid 2,2'-dichloro-3,3'-dimethoxy-4,4'-diaminodiphenyl 3-aminopyridine S-aminoquinoline 4,4'-diaminostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid 3,8-diaminodibenzothiophene and its sulfonic acid Examples of the compounds which may be used as the coupling components are:

Many other coupling components and diazo components are described in the various chapters of Venkataraman covering the azo dyes, found on pages 409704 of that treatise. Any combination of these components which produces an azo dye having an amino group capable of reacting with the halogenated carboxyphenyltriazine derivative (i.e., a primary or secondary amino group) is capable of forming the dyestuffs of our invention which contain azo dye residues. A great many such dyes are specifically disclosed in these chapters. As stated above, the amino group may be either a primary or a secondary, but not a tertiary amino group. There must be one hydrogen capable of replacement by the carboxyphenyltriazine radical.

(B) Vat dye residues The various anthraquinone and other polyquinonoid structures which are known collectively under the generic term of vat dyes, are described in Venkataraman in chapters 27-34, inclusive, pages 803-1058. To the extent that anthraquinones and other vat dye structures are available having a primary or a secondary amino substituents, they are readily useable in the dyestuffs of our invention in the same way as the azo dyestufi residues.

Examples of some of the anthraquinonoid compounds which may be used to form the dyestufi of our invention are:

l-aminoanthraquinone 2-aminoanthraquinone 2-methyll-aminoanthraquinone 2-amino-3 -chloroanthraquinone 4-methyl-1-aminoanthraquinone 6-methyl-l-aminoanthraquinone 3-chlorol-amino anthraquinone S-chlorol-aminoanthraquinone S-benzamidol-aminoanthraquinone 4- and S-aminoanthraquinone-l (N) Z-benzacridones 4- and 5 -aminoanthraquinone-1 (S) 2-thioxanthrones 4-aminoanthrapyrimidine 4-amino-2,3-benzanthraquinone 1,9-pyrazolanthrone aminodibenzanthrone 4-aminoanthraquinone'1 (N) ,2, 1' (N 2'-carbazole 1,4-diamino-2- 2,3-anthraquinonethiazolyl anthraquinone 1,9-thiazoloanthrone 1-chloro-Z-aminoanthraquinone 2-amino-3-methylsulfonylanthraquinone 2-amino-6-benzamidoanthraquinone 1-amino-4- (4'-aminophenylamino -anthraquinone- 2,3'-disulfonic acid 1-methylamino-4- (4-aminophenylamino -anthraquinone-2,3'-disulfonic acid 1-amino-4- (4'-aminop'henylamino -anthraquinonedisulfonic acid 1-amino-4- (4-aminophenylamino -anthraquinone- 2,3',5-trisulfonic acid 1-amino-4- (4' [4"-aminophenylazo] -anilino -anthraquinone-2,5,2-trisulfonic acid 1-amino-4- 4 [4"-aminophenyl] -anilino) -anthraquinone-2,5,3"-trisulfonic acid 1-amino-4- (4'-aminophenylamino) -anthraquinone- 3-sulfonic acid 1-arnino-4- 3'-aminophenylamino -anthraquinone- 4-sulfonic acid 1-amino-4- (4'-aminophenylamino -anthraquinone- 2-sulfonic acid 1-amino-4- 3'-amino-4'-methylphenylamino) anthraquinone-Z-sulfonic acid 1-amino-4- (4'-amino-3-methylphenylamino) anthraquinone-Z-sulfonic acid l-amino-4- 3'-amino-4',6'-dimethylphenylamino anthraquinone-Z-sulfonic acid l-amino-4- (4'-aminophenylamino -anthraquin0ne- 3-sulfonic acid diethylamide 12 In addition to this list there is a class of anthraquinonoid compounds which may be represented by the formula:

in which M is hydrogen or sulfonic acid and A represents an arylene radical which may be further substituted with acidic groups such as sulfonic acid or carboxylic acid and where -R is hydrogen, alkyl, aralkyl or cycloalkyl. The aromatic diamine portion of this molecule -NHANHR- may be derived from various aromatic diamines such as:

m-phenylene diamine p-phenylene diamine benzidine dichlorobenzidines 4,4'-diaminoazobenzene m-phenylenediamine-4-sulfonic acid benzidine-3-sulfonic acid p-phenylenediamine-Z-sulfonic acid 4,4'-diaminoazobenzene-2-sulfonic acid p-phenylenediamine-Z-carboxylic acid and the like.

Of especial interest along this line are the acid anthraquinone dyes described in chapter 29 of Venkataraman, pages 834-860, wherein a large number of compounds having solubilizing groups are described.

Vat dye residues without solubilizing groups may be selected from any of the amino-substituted vat dyes or vat dye intermediates shown in pages 8034058 of Venkataraman. When vat dyes are desired, at least two vat dye residues must be linked to the carboxyphenyltriazine nucleus.

(C) Phthalocyanine residues The phthalocyanine structure is known to be a highly stable and highly colored chemical structure. Its use in pigments is well known and is described in Venkataraman, chapter 38, pages 1118-1142. Various amino substituted phthalocyanines are known including many which are sulfonated or carboxylated or otherwise substituted by an acid grouping. Such compounds with or without solubilizing groups are readily usable in preparing the dyes of our invention. The amino groups may be directly on the phthalocyanine rings or they may be in a sidechain such as an aminomethyl group. The latter is preferred because of the ease of preparation, since such products can be prepared from the phthalocyanine itself by treatment with methylolphthalimide and sulfuric acid as described in the US. Letters Patent 2,761,868 to Lacey. Sulfonation can occur at the same time under the proper conditions and up to four aminomethyl groups can readily be introduced as well as up to four sulfonic acid groups. Also phthalocyanine carboxylic acids can be aminomethylated in the same manner. Similarly, the nuclear substituted phthalocyanines such as those containing one to four chlorines can be sulfonated and/or aminomethylated. The total number of substituents should not exceed nine in one phthalocyanine molecule. The phthalocyanine or in the form of copper, cobalt, nickel or other metal complexes in which form they are also used in our invention. When phthalocyanines without solubilizing groups are The other classes of dyestuffs which are known are generally of less importance than the three classes described above. However, they may have the necessary combination of an acid grouping and a primary or a. secondary amino group, and when they do they can be used in the preparation of dyestuffs of our invention.

Compounds having the necessary prerequisites can be found among the xanthene, acridine and azine dyestuffs, e.g., described on pages 740-795 of Venkataraman.

A complete line of the dyes of our invention will necessarily include azo structures, vat structures, and phthalol5 cyanines, at least, in order to get the minimum variety needed of colors and properties.

(III) PREPARATION OF DYESTUFFS The dyestuffs of our invention are prepared by the ordinary acylation procedures by which carboxylic chlorides are reacted with amines and triazinyl chlorides are reacted with amines. These procedures will vary generally, depending on the amines used and consequently, the procedure modifications used will depend upon what amino dyestuff residue is being introduced into the molecule.

In general, the carbonyl chloride group on the phenyl azo dyes, or different aminophthalocyanines. One can also have mixtures of amino vat dyes, amino azo dyes or of three different kinds of dyestuffs. In general, when one has at least two azo groupings, one applies the compounds like an azo dyestuff. Similarly, if one has at least two amino vat dye structures linked to the phenyltriazine nucleus, one uses the product as a vat dye. If the amino dyestuff subsituents in the dyestuffs of our invention have at least two solubilizing groups, the product can be applied as an acid dye. If they have no solubilizing groups, the product may be used as a pigment unless it can be applied as a vat dye. The dyestuffs which have chlorines remaining in the molecule may also be applied by techniques involving the reaction of these chlorines with fibers. The various types of dyestuffs which form our invention and their modes of application can be illustrated by the following table in which X, Y and Z refer to the general formula COX Used in the usual manner for Aminoazo dye (sulionated)...

portion of the molecule will react with an amine first.

When only one mole of an amino dyestuff is used this is the chlorine which is replaced and the resulting product is a dichlorotriazinylbenzamide. With the use of larger quantities of dyestuff amine and of more drastic temperatures as described above, the triazine chlorines are readily replaced. Thus, if a second different amine is used a mixed dye is obtained. This can be done stepwise, so that dyestuffs having one, two or three amino dyestuif residues can be prepared, the amino dyestuff residues being the same or different.

In the preparation of the dyestuffs of our invention,

as an alternative, the carboXyl chloride substituents can be reacted with amines other than dyestuff amines, provided the chlorines on the triazine ring are replaced by at least one amino dyestuff moiety. Such other amines include dialkylamines such as dimethylamine, diethylamine, dipropylamine and the like, piperidine and morpholine. However, when the triazine chlorines or bromines are then replaced, they must be replaced by amino dyestuff residues. If the triazine chlorines remain on the molecule, in order to have a dyestuff the carbonyl chloride substituent must have been reacted with an amino dyestuff. 7

Any of the intermediates described in preceding portions of this specification can be used to give dyestuffs by replacing the halogens present. Any hydroxyl then remaining can be converted into halogen and used for further replacement by amino dyestuff if such is desired. That is, the use successively of several different dyestuffs permits the obtaining of a wide variety of shades. One

After stirring for 2 hours, the temperature is allowed to rise gradually to 10 C. The mixture is then drowned in 2500 parts of Water, containing 50 parts sulfuric acid. The solid precipitate is removed by filtration and washed acid-free.

The corresponding p-toluyl derivative is obtained by starting with p-toluic acid. The correspondingZ-methoxy- S-methyl-benzoyl derivative is obtained by starting with 2-methoxy-S-methyl-benzoyl chloride.
